[QUOTE="Joker Jen, post: 77160, member: 149"] Here u go m8!!! It's Not Magic Boomerangs have long been almost a thing of myth in many peoples' minds. But they are real! They really work! They are not magical sticks that obey their master's every command, but actually work on the same principle that makes the airplane fly, the sail boat move through the water, and the helicopter lift off. The Bernoulli Effect Boomerangs fly because of the principle described by Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), in his Hydrodynamica (1738). Bernoulli's principle describes what is now known as the "Bernoulli Effect." It states that "the pressure of a gas decreases as its velocity increases." Most of us are familiar with airplane wings, how the top is curved and the bottom is basically flat. As the wing moves through the air, the wind must move farther on the top than on the bottom, and must therefore move faster. And as Bernoulli has been so kind to tell us, this higher velocity means a low pressure area is formed on the top of the wing, thereby creating lift. A boomerang works on the same principle and its wings are basically the same as those of an airplane, just in miniature. Each boomerang wing is beveled on its trailing edge (the left edge for right hand, the right edge for left hand). The wind has to travel farther and faster on the top of the boomerang. This creates the lift. Boomerang Orientation An airplane's wings are laid flat, thus creating lift upwards. A boomerang's wings, however, (when thrown correctly) are nearly vertical. This means the right-handed boomerang will be creating lift to the left, and in this way it pulls itself around in a circle. A left-handed boomerang pulls itself to the right. This is why it is a BAD THING to throw a boomerang "side-arm," that is, parallel with the ground. In this case it pulls itself straight up into the air, often to a tremendous height. Though this can be pretty neat to see, "what goes up, must come down," and often does so with such force that it can hurt someone or break the boomerang. [/QUOTE]
